First, I'd like to thank you very much for making this list. We decided to go to a few houses in Plantation tonight. We first went to the Law's Residence on 11th Place. It was nice but simple. We then headed over to the homes on 26th St. in Plantation. We had to park along with everybody else along Old Hiatus and walk down to the house about a long 1/2 block. There was a police officer on duty at the end of the street. There were many, many cars and people. Very organized and friendly people. It is 2 houses together. One of the houses has a display that you can walk through on the side of the house. Beautiful display with many, many lights and they go off and on according to the music. It was very nice to see how they kept Christ in Christmas. It was an amazing display. We then went on Old Hiatus again just south of Sunrise to the Hyatt Home on 14th St. You can park on Old Hiatus also, but we found later that they have an empty field across from their house that can be used for parking. This house is right on the corner. This house has many, many different things to look at. The little kids were in their glory. Very large house and yard. They even had a movie running with little chairs for the kids to sit and watch if they wanted. Kids will love this house. Thanks again for this list!! Will attempt some more houses later.

Thanks for the great list! Just Checked out the two of the homes in Plantation Hyatt Extreme Christmas and the one 26th Street both were incredible and different. We also found one in Sunrise that has a radio station you can tune into if you don't want to get out: 10660 NW 32nd Street, Sunrise

First of all, thank you for posting the addresses... My favorite was in Plantation on 26th street, second runner up was also Plantation on 14th street. And the surprise was on 57th Ave in Hollywood, two blocks from my house ! I had no idea, modest but very nicely done... Kathy R...thanks for the parking tips, the evening was perfect !

I ggogled the one on Shady Lakes blvd but had no luck finding it. We drove up PGA blvd to central but left us at a park. Anyone have an idea where it is exactly?? Thanks. We drove around 2 hours looking tot it.

SE 6th Street between 25th and 26th Avenues in Pompano Beach This location has at least 10 homes that do lights, anchored by a very large home display at the east end of the street. The best bet is to park alongside the cemetery at 25th Ave and 4th st. and walk the street which becomes almost a defacto pedestrian plaza on weekend nights.

About Me

I am the wife of my wonderful husband, Lupe. I was given the best title in the world, "Mom", by my 2 beautiful girls Tenly & Gianna. It took me awhile to be content in these 2 roles, but I am a proud domestic manager and devote myself to them. My goals are to be the Wife, Mom and Woman God has called me to be. To love and support my husband unconditionally and raise my girls to be confident and strong women of God who know God's Word to be true. In my spare time (insert laugh), I am crazy enough to write 2 Blogs: Moms [NOT] Like Us- a Blog encouraging Mom's to embrace and support each other dispite our differences and Hot Momma's of Broward County- a Blog featuring everything "Mom" in the South Florida (Broward, Dade, Palm Beach Counties) area.
